Data-Centric Smart Big Service: New Challenges and New Development
To be presented morning of July 5, 2018
Information technology has developed into a new phase with the emergence of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of Things, mobile computing and open source, etc. In the Internet + Services environment, more and more software service resources have been developed and they are further interconnected to form a service ecosystem functionally enriched by big data. This is called “Data-centric Big Service”, a new ecosystem of massive complicated networked services which bridge heterogeneous networks, multiple business domains and the cyber and physical worlds. A lot of new challenges emerge and lead to drastic changes on traditional services computing research and practice, resulting in Big Service theory and technologies. The recent explosive progress of artificial intelligence facilitate smart services, too. In this talk, the background, concepts, features, architecture, new paradigm, research problems and topics, and new development trends of Big Service are presented. The applications and influences of Big Service on business, technology, society and people’s daily life are also discussed.
